Radiohead – Hail To The Thief (Deluxe Edition) (EMI Music Canada)

On their 2003 opus Hail To The Thief, Radiohead achieved a balance that laid smack dab between the best aspects of their earlier guitar-oriented work and their later electronica-based material. Introspective moments like Sail To The Moon fit well alongside more hyperactive tracks like 2+2=5 and the more “classic” Radiohead moments like There There.

This revamped edition includes the original record as well as a second disc of 13 live tracks (2+2=5, Fog (Again)), demos (There, There) and B-sides like the mysterious Paperbag Writer and the relatively minimalist I Am A Wicked Child.

The DVD included in this set features promotional videos for There There, Go To Sleep, Sit Down. Stand Up and 2+2=5 and also includes some killer live footage of five tracks from Hail To The Thief. This set is a stunning conclusion to Radiohead’s tenure with the EMI record label.
